About
This team of owner-operators was formed shortly after the group realized they all were after the same thing, just in different parts of the province. Brewer John Folinsbee was planning a brewery in Squamish, industry veteran Marc Roberts had his sights on Vancouver while entrepreneur Ben Reeder and builder Adam Steinberg were looking at brewing in the Cowichan Valley on Reeder’s hop farm. After tasting John’s recipes they decided to go all in and combine forces to build the 6000 square foot brewery, tasting room and kitchen in Squamish.

Dark brown. Lots of coconut on this, big sweet sugary stout, and a bit of alcohol to help round out the finish. Maybe a bit of hazelnut. Rich and delicious.

Dark brown. Thin head. Medium thickness, some sweet chocolate stuff. Light vanilla. A bit of coconut. How the fuck is this not a banana beer. Talk about a missed opportunity.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Poured from the tap. Black with small tan head. Molasses, bourbon, touch of chocolate and vanilla. I think it’s a tad better base beer than last year, but would prefer last year’s Heaven Hill barrels. Ultimately, an equal rating for me (second try of last years after the booziness settled). Worth buying for trades.

Just Because I Rock Doesn't Mean I'm Made of Stone from Backcountry Brewing

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw, some fresh grass, and some crackery malt. Flavour is grassy and spicy, with a nice vibrant grassy hop character, light spiciness, and crisp crackery malt. Fairly authentic, but under-hopped, and somewhat crisp. Very good.

Dark brown colour, near black, small brownish head. Aroma of dark chocolate, light vanilla, not very intense. Smooth, full bodied; dark chocolate flavour, burnt sugar, dark caramel, a touch of vanilla and cinnamon, a hint of smoke. Very warming alcohol, but I wouldn't qualify like boozy. It's balanced.
Excellent.

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
473 ml can. Pours black with moderate tan head. Aromas of boozy bourbon, woody chocolate, vanilla, and slick roasted malts. Rich flavors of chocolate/fudge, vanilla, bourbon, and oily roasted malts. Boozy finish and some gunk at the end of the pour that shouldn't be there though, so rating may be on the high side...

16oz @ Alex's. Appearance: dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: quite barrel forward, molasses, some grassy notes, a bit of chocolate and vanilla, a bit of inky and caramel notes. Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet and thick, leather notes. Overall: it's pretty good, but not that something I would stock up on.

On tap at Steamworks - Mt Pleasant, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is quite fruity, with light vanilla, a touch of coconut and fruitiness. Flavour is quite fruity, with light vanilla, dark fruits, and subtle coconut. Fruity and vanilla-y, with not too much sweetness.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full tan head. Aromas of dusty coconut and roasted malts. Flavors of vegetal coconut, soft vanilla, chocolate wafer and roasted malts. I guess a lite pastry stout…
